This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into right occipital bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85683306 (Insertion of internal fixation device into right occipital bone, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract description — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not match the services being solicited under it in practice. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency healthcare services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic device insertion or related surgical implants. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, Phoenix), and independent boards (Phoenix Fire Pension Board, Phoenix Police Pension Board). The code appears to carry misfiled or legacy-tagged opportunities rather than coherent procurement activity.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code shows no recent activity in procurement of surgical implants, orthopedic devices, or related supplies — the core of its nominal scope. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether issuing bodies are applying it in error or whether the code's meaning has drifted significantly from its published definition.
